00:00If you like starting your day with a cup of tea every morning, or if you're like me who
00:13guzzles coffee throughout the day, chances are the beverages that you start your day
00:18with are manufactured and processed at the DMC CTN Coffee Centre, where 450 million tea
00:25bags are processed every year.
00:34The DMCC Coffee Centre has been established as a service centre, and what that means is
00:40that we do not produce or make any brands, but we do everything in the value chain.
00:46And that means we start from green beans coming in, so we have traders from the green bean
00:51from all over the world who come and trade coffee here, and then some of them sell it
00:57to other places in the world.
00:59Due to our geographical location, it's very easy for coffee to come here.
01:04And green beans means coffee before it's processed into roasted coffee.
01:08Our warehouses can take over 600 containers worth of coffee.
01:13Going into the processing, what else do we do?
01:16We do everything in terms of packaging roasted coffee.
01:19Roasted coffee comes in a lot of formats.
01:21We go and cover the majority of this without the instant coffee part.
01:26So everything outside of the instant can be done here.
01:30Most of the coffee that's consumed is a blend of a lot of coffees, and this is done here
01:35as well with us.
01:36We have a lot of brands from around the world that come here and use our services in different
01:41parts of these.
01:42Some use only for green, pre-roast, some of them have brands.
01:46Our coffee today goes to more than 15 countries as an end product.
01:58Our tea center just celebrated its 17th year old birthday.
02:03With the tea center as well, we begin from the beginning of the process until the very
02:07end of the process of tea, where a lot of it comes from the origin countries of tea
02:14growth until the end.
02:16We do a lot of brands.
02:17We do over 70 brands of tea that gets processed in bags and loose tea again and gets blended
02:25or repacked as well outside of the UAE.
02:29In black tea bags, we make over 400 million tea bags every year.
02:34Last year, we had over 450 million tea bags produced here that are consumed and enjoyed
02:40around the world.
02:41So as this model, we do not have a brand, but we go around the whole value chain of
02:46tea where companies come and use the services on where they see fit.
